Cartoon Storytelling Workshop

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Norris University Center, 1999 Campus Drive

Instructor: Steven Fischer Get a sneak peek at the Introduction to Cartoon Storytelling Mini Course with a workshop on Workshop Day.  Participants will look at ways to position themselves to generate story and character ideas, character development, and creativity with the intent of using cartoon art as personal expression - using real life experiences and personal conflict as prompts for new work. This workshop (and its accompanying course) is intended to introduce students to the possibilities cartooning offers as a vehicle to express and communicate effectively. The workshop is a basic introduction to the nature of creativity, and how we position ourselves to generate ideas for an original story with original characters using personal experience or observation as a prompt.

Coffee How You Like It

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Norris University Center, 1999 Campus Drive

Instructor: Bradley Davey Like milk and sugar with your coffee? Join us for a two-hour coffee-drinking extravaganza to change that. We'll brew and sip the whole spectrum, from big chain coffee to stuff that's experimental and changing the game. Our goal is that you experience a range of coffee flavors to better understand your preferences. We hope that the next time you visit a grocery store, you can buy coffee that fits your taste buds.
